Abstract: A tape includes: a flexible backing layer having two major surfaces, wherein the backing layer has a thickness of greater than 25 micrometers; and an acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on one major surface of the backing layer, wherein the acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive comprises the reaction of one or more (C8-C20)alkyl acrylates with one or more reinforcing monomers having a homopolymer Tg of at least 50° C., wherein the acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive has a tan ? of at least 0.5 measured at 80° C.

Abstract: A tape includes: a flexible backing layer having two major surfaces, wherein the backing layer has a thickness of greater than 64 micrometers and up to 200 micrometers, and one major surface of the backing layer includes a primed surface; and a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on the primed surface of the backing layer, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness of at least 7.6 micrometers (and preferably up to 25 micrometers); wherein, when disposed on an aluminum substrate, the tape displays a peel adhesion of less than 20 oz/in (219 N/m) according to a Peel Adhesion Strength Test described in the Examples Section, and a leakage distance of less than 762 micrometers according to a Chromic Acid Anodization—Leakage Distance Test described in the Examples Section.

Abstract: Provided are double-coated tapes that include, in the following order: a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; a first plastic skin layer; an elastic base layer; a second plastic skin layer; and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The provided double-coated adhesive tapes can provide a combination of high bond strength, reworkability, and high impact and shock resistance, and can be easily converted using a die cutting process.
